CLASSICAR GARAGE NEWSLETTER 199, 3 OCTOBER 2024
 
Dear classic car enthusiast,
 
Today I present you eight newly arrived classic cars and a motorcycle classic. Many newsletter readers from the Netherlands and Belgium visited Wheels Mariënwaerdt Concours d'Élégance in the Netherlands which in our opinion was a very atmospheric and delightful event. At the concours, a 1961 Facel Vega Facellia F2, top-restored by Amicale Facel Holland, won first prize in the 'Facel Vega' class! Another top restoration is already underway; enjoy the sheet metal restoration of the 1963 Facel Vega Facel II below.
 
A number of great cars were driven and photographed again, such as the impressive eight-cylinder Bentley 'Bobtail', the early Jaguar E-type series 1 roadster (production number 305) and the beautifully restored and superbly driving Aston Martin DBS! Very special is the Riley 9 Brooklands with an intriguing and complete history of 96 years! The car participated in the legendary Tourist Trophy (Ards-TT) in and around Belfast in Ireland in 1928. In the meantime, beautiful classics have also been driven and photographed at S2 Classic Cars, Classic Job and at Montagna d'Oro; you will soon find these cars in CCG Newsletter 200!
 
Enjoy the ride!
 
With kind regards,
Marc Vorgers.

Bentley Speed-8 ‘Bobtail’ built on a 1948 chassis. Colour matt dark British Racing Green combined with a full leather dark brown interior finished with dark brown wool carpet.

The engine is a B80 5575 cc eight-cylinder inline engine with four S.U. carburetors. The power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a manual five-speed gearbox.
